MS Spitsbergen overview

MS Spitsbergen will take you on a voyage beyond the ordinary. It is named after the crown jewel of Arctic Norway—the Svalbard archipelago and its largest island, Spitsbergen. Hurtigruten has a rich history of traveling to Spitsbergen, dating back to 1896 with the launch of the 'Sports Route.' After a complete reconstruction, MS Spitsbergen joined the Hurtigruten fleet in 2016, boasting high technical standards along with modern and comfortable public areas and cabins.

This environmentally progressive ship is designed for optimal maneuverability, making her ideal for exploring polar waters. She features an onboard Expedition Team that transforms the journey into an educational experience, offering engaging lectures both inside the ship and on the sun deck. Topics vary by season and location, and daily programs include evening gatherings and live points of interest discussions, where guests can learn about the nature, culture, and phenomena encountered along the coast. The Expedition Team also introduces guests to the uniquely Norwegian concept of 'friluftsliv' (outdoor life), encouraging participation in hikes and activities throughout the cruise.
